Graphtec FCX4000 serie vladbed snijtafels

Graphtec FCX4000 Series Flatbed Cutting Plotters / Cutting Tables

Compact, high‑precision flatbed cutting plotters designed for creating cuts, creases, drawings, and prototypes on rigid or semi‑rigid media. Ideal for short runs, packaging, signage, and POP‑POS work.

• Dual tool carriage (cutting blade + optional creasing/drawing tool) for multi‑task jobs without tool swaps.
• Electrostatic media hold‑down panel secures light media without physical clamps; optional protect/“cling” mats for non‑static materials.
• High cutting force up to 600 gf (≈5.88 N) for rigid or thick media.
• Cutting speed up to 750 mm/s with precise acceleration, and many incremental settings.
• Models in two sizes: 50ES (smaller) and 60ES (larger) to suit different media sizes and production volumes.
• Reverse‑side creasing/cutting (via ARMS & registration marks) to avoid damaging or marking the printed surface.

Long Description

1. Key Benefits & Value to Customers

The Graphtec FCX4000 Series stand out for their ability to deliver very precise cutting, creasing, and drawing on rigid and semi‑rigid media in a compact, desktop/flatbed format. For signage, POP displays, prototypes, packaging, or print‑on‑demand jobs, the benefits include:

• Reduced waste: by cutting and creasing exactly where needed, even on reverse side, you protect printed surfaces and avoid mis‑cuts.
• Faster turnaround: dual tools, efficient hold‑down, USB/Barcode & offline operation let you process jobs more quickly and with fewer manual interventions.
• Flexibility: handle materials—from vinyl and films to cardboard, foam board, sandblast rubber—without needing large die‑cutting or roll‑feed machines.

These translate into lower cost per job, less setup time, and more consistent results—important if your clients expect high quality with quick delivery.

2. Detailed Product Capabilities

Media & Material Handling

• Hold‑down via an electrostatic panel ensures light or thin sheets don’t shift during cutting. For media that don’t adhere well electrostatically, a protect or cling mat can be used.
• Max media thickness depends on media type and blade: e.g. sandblast resist rubber up to ~1.0 mm; heavy board or cardboard up to ~1.0 mm using suitable blade.

Cutting & Creasing Tools

• Two tool holders allow simultaneous mounting of e.g. a cutting blade and a creasing tool, reducing setup time and enabling mixed‑operation jobs.
• Reverse side cutting/creasing capability using ARMS (Advanced Registration Mark Sensing) system. This lets you crease from the non‑printed side to avoid surface marks.

Speed, Force, Precision

• Cutting speed up to 750 mm/s (≈ 29.5 in/s) across both models.
• Cutting force up to 600 gf (≈ 5.88 N), in many incremental settings (48 steps).
• Fine positioning/resolution: supports very small character cut, fine detail work; repeatability is tight (about 0.1 mm or less).

Workflow & Connectivity

• USB and Ethernet / RS‑232 interfaces; offline operations via USB stick. Save design or cut‑data, plug in at the cutter, barcode scan & go.
• Barcode scanning + registration marks helps prevent user error and streamlines print‑&‑cut workflows.

3. Typical Applications & Industries

• Packaging & Prototyping: small box models, sample runs, ornate packaging designs.
• Signage & Display (POP / POS): cut vinyl lettering, decals, sandwich boards, foam board or acrylic prototypes.
• Print‑on‑Demand: especially when small batches of printed media need precise cuts or creases, e.g., greeting cards or custom packaging.
• Industrial / Specialty Materials: sandblast resist, reflective film, oil board.
• Fashion / Textile & Accessories: patterns, stencils, protective overlays.

4. USPs (Unique Selling Points)

• The combination of electrostatic hold‑down and reverse side creasing is relatively rare in machines of this size.
• Dual tool heads mean less manual changeover – if you need to cut then crease, or draw vs cut, you can often do both in one pass.
• Offline operation and barcode functions improve reliability and reduce dependency on PC connectivity. Useful in busy workshop environments.
• Two model sizes (50ES & 60ES) let you choose based on media size & throughput without over‑investing in space or machine you don't need.

5. Maintenance, Ease of Use, and Integration Features

• Clear control panel (3.7″ LCD) with intuitive menus.
• Blade / tool holders are standardised; Graphtec supplies accessories such as protect sheets, cling mats, creasing tools, etc.
• Electrode panels (for the electrostatic system) require some cleaning, especially if media generate dust or residue; optional mats help protect.
• Regular calibration via ARMS / registration mark functions ensures consistent accuracy.
• Firmware / driver / software (Cutting Master, Graphtec Studio) updates available from Graphtec’s site.
